A few deer pictures
 

I went out tonight with my camera and my spotting scope. I tried taking pics through my spotting scope but I ................ well I suck at it! [:@] If anyone has any advice on this.... I'm all ears.

I almost didn't need the spotting scope because once they noticed me they became curious and walked towards my truck! I spotted a monster in a bean field but the traffic was too much for me to stop and take a pic. [&o]











See what I mean? [:o]

Nice pics Greg. Are them beans?

Cool pictures Greg.Its amazing how curious they are whenthere isno bow in your hand.

RE: A few deer pictures
 

Yeah, they're beans. They looked a bit short at first but that spike sure disappears when he laid down.

Anyone ever take pics through a spotting scope?

RE: A few deer pictures
 

Yea but it takes the planets aligning to work. Seriously though, I never could figure out a strategy that worked every single time. It took dozens of pics to get one that was clear.....wasnt sure what I was doing wrong.:eek:

awesome pics greg! thanks for sharing

I've only taken pics through my spotting scopes a couple of times. In order for me to get clear images I couldn't use any of the zoom on the camera and had to slowly start the scope from its lowest power and work my way up. As previously saidits a pain in the arse to keep the camera in the same spot while doing this.

Hope this helps

Its hard to take pictures through a spotting scope without a camera that you can manually focus. Ive tried it with my small digital and the autofocus always seems to mess it up...
